Accommodation

All participants will be housed in international student accommodation, which will be arranged by our secretariat. 

We are always looking for the best available price/quality balance in student accommodation. More detailed information will be provided to the participants in a timely matter. From experience we know that housing everyone together benefits both the group’s dynamics and the learning process.

Travel to Belgium and Antwerp

Antwerp is located in the centre of Belgium and is easily accessible by plane, train, car and bus. The international airport of Brussels (Zaventem) is the most frequently used gateway to Antwerp, but you might also want to consider the low-cost airport of Brussels South (Charleroi) or the very nearby airport of Antwerp.

Antwerp is also very easy to reach by train. International railway lines link Brussels and Antwerp to several other major European cities. 

Lastly, Eurolines and Flixbus buses also frequent the city centre of Antwerp, which might be the cheapest option to get here.
